I have a spare P4 mobile CPU with no use. Can I treat this type of CPU as regule CPU and put into any regular ATX mainboard?

Yes, if it's Socket 478. In fact that's how one website was able to get an 800 bus, months before 800 bus P4's were released.

You see, the Mobile P4 will run at it's lower divider in the desktop board, which will allow for 1st class bus overclocking!
